Glad you got your hands on some bricks. Yet, droids or overall SW stuff is an easy way of making a generic and unoriginal army. Mostly droids. You planning on converting those or something? Unless you want a CIS army of course.

Well kinda sorta...You see, I love Battle Droids, but I've got no real love for the Separatist or a lot of their vehicles.

Therefore this army will be the Briktoid Automata, a rouge faction of Grade Federation droids who rebelled so they could play vidagames in peace.Unfortunately, this is the Brikwars Universe, so they rarely have a chance to set up a proper LAN party before some manics start making a racket.

Thus, legions of Space Skeletons are sent out to exterminate such nuisances as they arise.

As I've said in another thread, I did have a group of droids whose arms all broke, so I'm planning on eventually turning those into "Special" units, as well as adding Astromeks for Heros and/or Resurrectors.Then there are the vehicles, which I'll be doing in LDD before hopefully buying and building.

Battledroids are good for filling the ranks, I happened to have a tidy collection just sitting about already when I first started Brikwars so that's exactly what they're doing now. I can't stand how they can only hold blasters sideways though, so I have them claw people apart instead.

Then new ones come with hands that are perpenducular, so that's no longer a problem.

There really isn't a lot you -can- do with Battle Droid parts, I mean I once made a small contraption using nothing but Battle droid arms and torsos, parts I couldnt find heads and legs for, and it somewhat resembled a Destroyer Droid, but again, there isn't much you can use them for except battle droids.

They tend t be cheaper aswell, and available in higher numbers

I think that this year's Star Wars sets are garbage, very dissapointed in them.

Boy, is that wrong.

Torsos are the only piece with a handle at both ends and a stud in the middle. They're quite dense for what you can do with them. Heads make great claws. Arms have clips at either end and I want to play with the new 90° ones.

Indeed.But a word of warning Josh, they say that the 90° arms are a little weaker then the regular ones.

doesn't have to be big mech things either. My minotaurs use droid parts; Zahru's angel of death uses droid parts; SaberScorpion's lizardmen use droid parts. There is plenty of room to get creative with excess droidage.
